It’s hard to resist the allure of a classically glam dress. Sheer, flowing panels and lace lend an ethereal air befitting a cinema starlet – especially topped off with some diamonds.

Red-Hot
Power red is the happening hue on runways right now, and that includes evening wear. A fitted silhouette with cold-shoulder detailing and metallic accessories will put all eyes on you at any fete.

Fairy-Tale Frocks
Florals, pastels, and embroidery: They’re the elements any princess-moment gown needs. Tousled hair and cat-eye liner add some edge and balance out the uber-sweetness.

For the Guys
Keeping it classic in a timeless navy-and-black colorway is a fail-proof way to win best dressed at your next gala. Impeccable tailoring is a must (and makes your go-to suit look custom-made).
